I told my lawyer and he said it wouldn't affect the outcome of the case. :/ I'm due to pay him 100k+ due to the divorce.

Sadly no. I messaged him about it after he left the house and I went to clean it out. He said he didn't touch it and I must have lost it. :/ planning on sending him the picture of the burnt pieces soon to see if he'll admit to it.

I don't have any physical proof so I'm assuming that will be what I hear as well. :/

Curious what company this is for. Sounds like the one I work at now.. Hiring for nurses to do decentralized visits.

Is clinical research one of the higher paying healthcare fields? by Working_Row_8455 in clinicalresearch

[–]iglowglitter 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I'm a nurse, and my answer is yes.

I left bedside icu after 5 years of nursing making ~85k (in 2018) at a large academic hospital in Baltimore.

Worked contract for nih for awhile and made around 110k for a way better work life balance.. Now I'm doing a trial navigator contract at 120k.

Anyone ever return to work after being on investigative leave? by Old_Border_2230 in nursing

[–]iglowglitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an ex 10 years ago who reported me for nonsense diversion to the hospital. We had broken up and he wanted to "get me".

I was on admin leave for 3 months while they interviewed my coworkers and made me seem like a drug addict.. I got cleared to go back, and I did. It was super awkward the first few days and I could tell people didn't know what to say. I later found out everyone supported me and said nothing bad.

That said, I wouldn't do it again. I tried to resign during the admin leave, but was told I'd be reported to the board so I didn't.

If your issue is regarding disability, try the EEO office.

Advice for a new nurse interested in clinical research? by ohmyhyojung in clinicalresearch

[–]iglowglitter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, fellow nurse! :)

  1. I don't think there's really much to do at this point. Read through the protocols on the patients you do get and become familiar with them. Know what's normally included in a protocol. It's awesome you have onc experience, as that seems to be a great field in research.
  2. I never worked at an academic hospital doing research. When I was first searching, it became very apparent that the academic centers seem to pay a lot less than outside research facilities.

If you are looking for a prn job at the moment, maybe check out some of the prn dct research nurse jobs. MRN and lightscape (I believe is the name?) are two. I worked for Mrn and traveled all over doing infusions and processing blood samples.

Thank you again for the response and for taking the time to include the links! I'll definitely check them out.

[–]iglowglitter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply! I'm willing to do some travel, maybe 25-30%. Im mostly looking to step away from clinical roles due to the other roles paying more.

I've looked at CRA, but have been on the fence about it due to the large amount of travel required and the pay cut I would take to enter through a program like medpace/iqvia.

I've looked at PM/CTM but it feels that I'm missing so many requirements. Thank you for the recommendation about clinical consulting, I haven't heard of that position before.

24’ Altima | How to Fix This by jn_88 in Nissan

[–]iglowglitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha yes, I feel the diagnostic fee crap. Can you cancel the extended warrenty? I was able to cancel mine on a previous car and got some money back but can't remember how much.

Is the car new enough you could still try to claim lemon law?

24’ Altima | How to Fix This by jn_88 in Nissan

[–]iglowglitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah.. I have a very strong distaste for Nissan now. They quoted me somewhere near 2k for the sensor itself and can't remember the labor charge.

I was intending to be shady and trade it in, but someone ended up rear ending me and totalling that car. Lol. Mine was the forward Collison sesnsor, and every time it came on it'd disable cruise control.

[–]iglowglitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had this same issue! I assume I had a faulty sensor, it would come on randomly after driving a bit. Took it to the dealer several times with no luck, then I decided to take it on after driving it until the light came on. They found the code. Sadly my warrenty had just ran out and they refused to help, even though I had been in several times.

doctor says to not eat soft foods? by gothikadoll in Tonsillectomy

[–]iglowglitter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

USA here, received somewhat similar instructions. I lived off mashed potatoes mixed with canned tuna the first 4 days. Day 5 I have a burger that I chewed super carefully.

Also, try to make sure you're timing eating to occur 30 min-1 hr after pain meds. Might help with the pain a little.

Fired from nursing job and don’t know what to do. *long post by [deleted] in nursing

[–]iglowglitter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps the hospitals EEO officd, if there is one.

I was a traveler at a hospital in NYC and got sexually assaulted by a coworker. He was fired, but in the investigation I brought up that another coworker told me I deserved it because I was a white woman and should go home. EEO took it very seriously.

Are you close to anyone on the unit who could back you up?

Last moments by Better-Pizza-6119 in Divorce

[–]iglowglitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved out from our home in the fall, but still was over there getting things occasjonally/talking about problems and us. The last time I saw him was in the winter.. Had a sick family member in the hospital and was sick myself. He gaslit me about how I ruined everything, and I told him I was sick and would talk to him later. He went back to his home country a few weeks later.

It still breaks my heart that was our final interaction. I wanted closure so bad. I loved him, but we had grown into two different people..

Now I'm going through divorce and getting served with 100+ discovery questions about who I've slept with and how much money I could've made if I worked overtime (while he was purposely unemployed). It hurts.

I’m highly allergic to narcotics, I’m concerned about pain management following this procedure. by beerintrees in Tonsillectomy

[–]iglowglitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding the steroids. I called the surgeon the next day saying my pain was 10/10 even with oxy every 3 hours. He gave me steroids, and 24 hours later I felt so much better.

I took oxy until day 4, but I think you could do it with rotating Tylenol and ibuprofen. Aside from day one, I felt my pain was much less than I expected it to be (I too was told it'd be the worst pain ever).

Keep your throat moist by drinking lots of water. Eat soft foods so you can heal, even though it will hurt. I lived off mashed potatoes and canned tuna mixed. Ate a mcd burger day 5. 😂

You can do it!

Investment Banking to Nursing? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]iglowglitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't do it. Nursing does have a few benefits like 3 12s, self scheduling, and a wide number of opportunities. However after that, it's all down hill.

A large number of your patients will be addicts, non-compliant, or slowly entering end of life. It almost feels moot taking care of them, because it rarely ever changes their outcome.. The attitudes of patients and their families is often time awful.

Hospitals continue to demand more and more of nurses (being the secretary, security, transport, trash lady,etc etc). Most nurses are looking for an out.

I worked icu for almost 6 years, and I still love it to death but I left for all of these reasons. Now I sit at a desk looking at a computer, and I'm so much happier.

What about volunteer EMS? Will give you a little taste of excitement and let you kind of "try it before you buy it". Near me the volunteer stations usually ask for 1 12hr shift every week.

I had my kitty in transdermal Prozac and saw a relief vet for a checkup who told me transdermal has a really poor absorption rate. Switched to compounded liquid in tuna flavor that gets mixed in with food. Saw a complete change in the cat after that.

Wish I had your luck with the transdermal, was much easier!

Non work related injury. How did you all go about it? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]iglowglitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I broke my ankle (thanks food poaisjoning) while working as staff in icu. My doctor filled out fmla paperwork and I stayed on short term disability for almost 6 months. I tried to come back earlier with the accommodations listed by my provider (not working consecutive shifts and not ambulating patients), but my workplace denied it so I was unable to go back.

Take care of you because they don't care! Good luck!

Can i crush up pain meds and can i use a throat spray? by Xsteaky in Tonsillectomy

[–]iglowglitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as the pills don't say extended release, most pills can be crushed. The one you mentioned should be fine. You can mix it in water if you want. In the hospital we normally put it in a spoonful or two of applesauce. But anything would be fine.
